Itinerary

Day 1: Katherine Gorge Cruise & Edith Falls

Katherine Gorge is a network of thirteen gorges carved from billion-year-old sandstone country by the Katherine River in Nitmiluk National Park. Aboriginal culture is strong in the area and there are many Aboriginal rock art sites dotted throughout the park. It is a haven for nature lovers, with its rugged landscapes, dramatic waterfalls and lush gorges providing an abundance of flora and fauna. Leaving Darwin we travel south through tropical country, passing former WWII airstrips en route to Adelaide River. We make a short stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery, a site dedicated to those killed in the air raids in Darwin in the 1940’s. Continue to Edith Falls, where there is time for a refreshing swim in the paperbark and pandanas fringed waterhole beneath the falls (conditions permitting). After your included lunch, we join a 2 hour scenic cruise through Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, with a chance to see freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of the river and many interesting species of birdlife. Our cruise of the first two gorges takes us past sheer rock walls and requires a short walk to reach the second gorge. Enjoy a drive back through the township of Katherine, the hub of the region’s cattle and farming industries. Travel via Pine Creek, an historic gold mining town, to our evening stop where you may purchase dinner at Emerald Springs (own expense) before returning to Darwin.

Testimonials

"Danke Travel Freedom! I booked a Whitsundays tour for 2 nights on a boat called 'New Horizon'. I had so much fun, went snorkelling with amazing fishes and turtles, and made some new friends. Best of all was the price of the tour, which was the cheapest I could find anywhere! I recommend Travel Freedom to anyone wanting a Whitsundays tour!"

"I was travelling Australia by myself and my first stop was Perth. I found Travel Freedom online and booked their Perth to Darwin tour. On the tour I made friends that I still talk to 6 months later, saw some amazing things, and explored regions I never thought existed! Karijini was a highlight for sure, and I will never forget the Kimberley! Thanks to Travel Freedom this tour was awesome and their service was fantastic!"

"I booked a day tour to the Great Barrier Reef with Travel Freedom, and I honestly can't believe how amazing it was!

Thanks to Travel Freedom for their service, which was fast, helpful, and easy!"

"I travelled on a 3 day Kakadu & Litchfield tour in September 2015. The tour was great...the guide was extremely knowledgeable and we were able to see some amazing sites including Jim Jim Falls! The camping facilities were comfortable, and everyone on the tour had a good time. The agents at Travel Freedom were able to help me with my questions, payment was easy, and confirmed shortly after. I would recommend them to anyone looking to book tours in Australia."

I recommend them to anyone wanting to book tours and accommodation in Darwin!"

Peter Martin (AUS)

"We loved our two days in Kakadu. Loved opportunities to enjoy waterholes, spectacular views, landforms, rocks, trees, birds, unfortunately, no crocodiles! Tom our guide was generous with his time, effort and knowledge. Thanks to him we had an enjoyable time and learned much about Aboriginal art and history and about the environment
of Kakadu. We loved sleeping under the stars!"
